Meet at 7:00 AM at the Quil Ceda Village Walmart lot west of Marysville (I-5 exit 200). Park away from the store, to the east, near Quil Ceda Blvd. (next to I-5). Mid-summer is a quiet time for birds, but Wylie Slough and some of the other Skagit valley sites still can be productive, especially during the morning hours. Pack a lunch.
